Multiple type array

Question

I am working with an array and need some help. I would like to create an array where the first field is a String type and the second field is an Integer type. For result:

Console out

a  1
b  2
c  3

Answer 1

An array can only have a single type. You can create a new class like:

Class Foo{
   String f1;
   Integer f2;
}

Foo[] array=new Foo[10];

You might also be interested in using a map (it seems to me like you're trying to map strings to ids).

EDIT: You could also define your array of type Object but that's something i'd usually avoid.
